Captain Morgan Original Spiced Rum

Nose - candy corn, marshmallow, powdered sugar, molasses, Cap’n Crunch, candied orange, caramel, cola, vanilla, black pepper, mild ethanol burn. Taste - candy corn, powdered sugar, caramel, cola, vanilla, black pepper, mild alcohol bite, finishing fast with vanilla, candy corn, and cola flavors. I agree with the expert review. There’s a distinct carnival candy thing going on here. The nose is extremely sweet with marked vanilla powdered sugar and cola notes. It borders on cloying, but just misses being completely horrific. On the other hand, the palate is really bad. It’s rather bland and sickeningly sweet, not completely unlike an artificially sweetened and spiced Canadian Whiskey. The finish is equally nasty with any semblance of flavor disappearing immediately, leaving you with nothing but that bland, cloying sweetness until you find something with which to wash out your mouth. Not recommended for anything but mixing with Coke, although there are better options for that as well.

Not a spiced rum fan.
